Non-Honmaru Inner Honwan [Comprehensive]

Why did Hidecho Hashiba, who had already set off, appear here?

Why does Hidecho Hashiba know the "token" that should only be known by Sakichi and Hanbei Takenaka?

Ishida Sakichi suddenly understood what kind of incident he was involved in. What he had to face was not the thrilling incident of sealing the whole city and finding out the enemy spies (suspected), but the relationship between Hanshiba brothers and Hanbei Takenaka. power struggle among them.Of course he is not an idiot who was born in the Ishida family, but he was still young and didn't see the undercurrent between the brothers and Hanbei Takenaka. Hanbei Takenaka became a retainer of Hashiba Hideyoshi who was intimate with Hashiba Hideyoshi.

If the two parties were on guard against each other from the very beginning... then why did Hanbei Takenaka entrust him to seal the city on his behalf? guard without hindrance

Ishida Sakichi just felt his mind go blank.

Ever since he became Hashiba Hideyoshi's surname, the Hashiba Hideyoshi he has seen has always been loyal and kind.Although he was born in the Ishida family, he was not very satisfied with Hashiba Hideyoshi's appearance, and he was more close to the handsome and elegant Takenaka Hanbei, but Ishida Sakichi did not have no longing for Hashiba Hideyoshi.What he loves by nature is not pure appearance, but talents who pay equal attention to appearance and talent. It is only because he is still young that he unconsciously and more focuses on visual beauty.Hashiba Hideyoshi has no flaws other than appearance, and it took more effort than ordinary people to get to his current position from humble beginnings. All these made Ishida Sakichi secretly admire him. The attitude of admiration is also firmly believed.But he also instinctively realized the coldness behind Hashiba Hideyoshi's mask of affection, so he ignored the longing brought by Mu Qiang's nature.

Now Hashiba Hidecho lightly threatened him to hand over the token. Compared with the threat to his life, what Ishida Sakichi felt was the daze that his previous cognition was completely overthrown.Hanbei Takenaka didn't make his deduction clear, and Sakishi Ishida didn't know that the person hiding in the city and the person he accidentally saw was the enemy's Anguoji Huiqiong. The whole person suddenly fell into a struggle, not knowing what to do Should he obey Hashiba Hidecho's order or carry out Takenaka Hanbei's order.

However, he didn't need to struggle in the first place—because he had no choice at all.

After many years of life as a military general, the previous foundation is still there. Whether it is a frontal confrontation or a sneak attack from behind, Hashiba Hidecho is stronger than Ishida Sakichi.Ishida Sakichi is not inferior in terms of force, and he shouldn't have no resistance at first, but he sent the key point to Hashiba Hidecho without any precautions. This is the biggest mistake this young Xiaoxing made.

Without the patience to wait for Ishida Sakichi to make a choice, Hashiba Hidecho directly grabbed his wrist and bent back, the sword that was originally held in Ishida Sakichi's hand fell to the ground with a bang.Immediately afterwards, he reached out to the boy's belt, and pulled out the token that could control the Mino Army from the interlayer of the boy's belt—due to his rough handling, he didn't restrain his strength from grabbing Ishida Sakichi's hand before, and soon He pinched the young man until his face turned red, and he opened his mouth to try to draw air.

The boy's neck was slender and fair, just as thick as he could hold the opponent's breath with one hand.

"——Sakichi." Still pinching Ishida Sakichi's neck with one hand, Hashiba Hidecho casually flipped through the front and back of the token, making sure that it was indeed something that could deploy the Mino Army, and then showed a frivolous smile again. As the elders persuaded the younger generation they love in a soft voice, "Although Mr. Takenaka is indeed a powerful character, you should not have forgotten who your lord is."

"My brother, I have always had high hopes for you."

Probably because he was facing a critical moment of life and death, the essence of things that Sakishi Ishida had no way to see through so quickly appeared clearly in his mind.He stretched out his hand to forcibly break Hashiba Hideonaga's hand pinching his neck, and the nails of his ten fingers scraped red marks on the skin of his neck.Born into a samurai family, Sakishi Ishida was not without means of escape—but before he succeeded, Hashiba Hidecho threw him out, watching his forehead touch the pillar painted red, and was wiped away. There was a large piece of skin, and blood immediately flowed across the eyelids, almost making the boy unable to open his eyes.

In terms of psychological deterrence, Hashiba Hidecho has never been weak.

Ishida Sakichi covered the wound with his sleeve, and whispered blankly: "No, Your Highness is...actually, he wants to use my eyes to monitor Mr. Takenaka's actions."

"Hey, don't you understand that very well." Hashiba Hideaga said with a smile, "But you don't need to do this now - there is a new task for you. You will be obedient and obedient."

He has misjudged the difference in force between the two sides, and his throat is also aching because of Hashiba Hidecho's rude behavior just now. Ishida Sakichi looked at Hashiba Hidecho with unprecedented horror—but amidst the panic, for The strong man's admiration and longing made his eyes flash with a strange gleam, and he only asked in a low voice and hesitantly: "What is the mission?"

"You just need to answer whether I will be obedient or not." Hashiba Hideaga picked up the sword that Ishida Sakichi dropped just now, and smiled easily - his smile reminded Ishida Sakichi that he was unarmed and could only be slaughtered "Be sure, think clearly before answering"

His blade did not point at Ishida Sakichi's chest or head, but Ishida Sakichi had already predicted his own fate from these words——What Hashiba Hidecho showed him was not allowed to refuse and resist from the very beginning. and power.

No, Hashiba Hidecho is just a representative.The person who really possessed this quality and was able to make his younger brother do such things and relay such questions was Hashiba Hideyoshi, who came from a humble background and has a generous personality.

Two lines of clear tears rolled down Ishida Sakichi's eyes, but the light in his eyes became more intense.He let go of his hand, and drops of blood continued to fall from the forehead that had not completely stopped the bleeding, but his expression did not show any sign of shrinking or pain. After wiping off the untimely tears, he looked like a warrior who had just made up his mind.

"...Yes. I am at your command."

Hanbei Takenaka didn't know these things happened—even though the meeting between Sakishi Ishida and Hidecho Hashiba happened not far from him, Hanbei Takenaka didn't have the outstanding ear power like a man with a sword. The sick body that didn't collapse immediately was not enough for him to act autonomously immediately.Therefore, for a long time after handing over the token to Ishida Sakichi, Hanbei Takenaka sat in the room to recharge his batteries. Only a few servants who heard his cough would ask him in a low voice from time to time. The current situation - but these few people who were finally guarding around the Japanese room were eventually sent to the city wall by Hanbei Takenaka to inspect the flag.

It wasn't until Ishida Sakichi told him worriedly outside the door that the cavalry had assembled that the melancholy and handsome young man stood up again and walked out of the Japanese room step by step.

Probably aware of the seriousness of the matter, and worried that the tokens would not be able to drive the army, Ishida Sakichi specially changed into a set of armor, and even put the pocket (helmet) on his head obediently, covering his entire forehead.His originally innocent eyes unexpectedly showed a bit of determination, but his face was still a little pale—perhaps because of nervousness.

I have to say that this kind of Ishida Sakichi is a little more decent than Hanbei Takenaka expected at the beginning.

"Thanks for your hard work." Knowing that his request is actually embarrassing Ishida Sakichi, but even more aware that any disturbance in the city may quickly reach the ears of Hashiba Brothers, Takenaka Hanbei does not have much time to appease Ishida Sakichi Looking deeply at the latter's pale and young face, he said briefly and politely, "Have the cavalry assembled yet?"

"Yes. They have already gathered at the gate near the school grounds, and your horse has already been prepared there." His eyes only briefly met Takenaka Hanbei's deep eyes, and Ishida Sakichi quickly lowered his eyes. Head, muffled, "Please be careful."

"..." Takenaka Hanbei looked at the transformation pocket on Ishida Sakichi's head that had not yet been fitted with a standing object, and said calmly, "I will."

He stopped talking with Ishida Sakichi, but quickly moved towards the location Ishida Sakichi said earlier.From his still straight back and steady steps, it is hard to imagine that he is seriously ill.

It didn't take long for Hanbei Takenaka to arrive at his destination.

Even if Hanbei Takenaka discovered the anomaly in time, it wouldn't change the fact that Hashiba Hideyoshi and others had already set off.Right now, Hanbei Takenaka feels lucky, but if Hashiba Hideyoshi really wants to lure him out of the city and win the chance for Anguoji Huiqiong to leave, it is impossible to kill the Hatano brothers immediately—at the same time, the escort The team has both ashigaru and cavalry, and the ashigaru's feet are naturally not as fast as the horses, so the team itself is not moving fast.If Hanbei Takenaka marched in a hurry with all cavalry, it was very likely that he would catch up with this team before Hashiba Hideyoshi went far enough.

As long as Takenaka Hanbei's body can withstand this kind of jolt.

Taking a cursory glance at the school grounds, Hanbei Takenaka stepped on the horse without saying a word, and drove the horse forward!

The heavy armor is no longer what the current Takenaka Hanbei can bear.He was like Saburo many years ago, only wearing thin clothes, galloping forward fearlessly, he didn't care how to protect himself when he might face swords with Hashiba Hideyoshi and others once everything was really as he expected.

The sky gradually darkened.The fine rain was blown up by the strong wind like fog, silently wet Takenaka Hanbei's forehead, hair and clothes, and the cold breath pierced his bones like needles.When the horses first started galloping, there was only the sound of horseshoes stepping on the ground. After a while, the ground became muddy due to the rain, and the sound of horseshoes landing was more replaced by the sound of swaying trees.When the horseshoes stepped forward, the yellow mud on them was shaken off, and when they were pulled up, they were re-stained with mud. Because of their speed, the orange muddy water was constantly thrown backwards, and pieces of it stuck to the horse's mane and hair. on human armor and clothing.

Not long after, they had marched to the nearest mountain forest.

"—You guys are not my Mino Army."

In the increasingly gloomy sky, the young man finally stopped the horse - it is not known whether he deliberately led people here, or his body has been unable to continue.But what is certain is that in this almost abnormally cold weather, his tone is also extremely calm—just like the tone he used every time he had wisdom in his hands and had a plan in his hands.

Hanbei Takenaka was at the outermost edge of the forest, and said firmly.

"The person who came is Hashiba Hideyoshi, or Hashiba Hidecho——no, it must be Hidecho."

"After all, my brother seldom does such things, so I can only do it." Among the two teams of cavalry behind Takenaka Banbei, one of the two cavalry briskly removed his visor, "Oh, I was discovered. Sure enough, it is too difficult for Sakichi to deceive you."

"It's none of his business." As if he didn't notice Ishida Sakichi's forbearance and restraint at that time, Hanbei Takenaka said indifferently like a bystander, "In such a short time, it is too late to gather all my Mino troops. Is it okay to just run out like this?"

"That's what I'm going to say - just ran out alone, what exactly is Mr. Takenaka trying to do?" Hashiba Hideki's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he said with a playful smile, "I can't stop Hui Qiong of Anguo Temple, and I can't save Hatano Brother... I said you, could it be that you want to send a letter to the letter chief?"

"That's a little too much to underestimate me, Takenaka Hanbei-sama."

In the fine mountain rain, Hanbei Takenaka coughed lightly and smiled lightly.

"Although there is no specific information to be conveyed...but it has been done very well for you to attract other people's attention."

ah.In fact, it should have been updated yesterday.

But it dragged on until today hahahahaha.

To be honest, Saki Ishida should be wearing body armor at this time, but I think it's not easy to command when mixed with the Ashgaru of the Mino Army, so I let Sakishi wear the body armor.But he didn't set up anything for him (so what's the point of changing the armor).
